Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking a meeting with Kamala Harris in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly next week, in an early effort to sustain a recent improvement in ties with the U.S.
Turkey’s leader is awaiting a response from the Democratic nominee for president, who’s expected to be in New York for a fundraising event on September 22, according to people familiar with the matter.
Erdogan is also open to meeting with vice-presidential nominee, Tim Walz, Bloomberg reported.
